355 Greenwich Street

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Greenwich Street, 355
 restaurant, condominium

4-story residential building completed in 1892. Designed by Leicht & Howell as a store-and-loft building, the ground floor has cream-colored cast-iron piers; above them are the original transom grilles, pressed-metal cornice, and framework for the fixed awning. Above the base, the two painted brick facades are identical. Each has brick piers, emphasized by corbelling at top and bottom, which separate the recessed bays. The top floor is articulated by narrow, grouped, round-headed windows in all but two bays. An ornate, cast-iron cornice embellished with such Renaissance-inspired details as swag and a tall triangular pediment with the date "1891" crowns each side. A small, recessed penthouse was added to the Greenwich Street facade at a later date.

At different times the building has been leased by wholesale egg and dairy merchants, produce companies, a bakery, and various small industries. It is currently a multiple-use condominium, housing residences and businesses. The ground floor is occupied by The Harrison restaurant.
